Step 1= > 225
Comlex 1= < 500
Step 2CK= ~ 240
Comlex 2 CE= < 500 (yes ouch)
Letters: 2 LORs from Psychiatrists, 2 from other fields
Grades: Decent for the most part, I did get a B in psych as an MS3 but expecting As in psych electives as an MS4.
ECs/work experience: 200+ Hrs
Research: 5-6 Research projects (2-3 Psychiatry publications)
Location: I'd prefer the NE, but I know i'm probably limited to ACGME places with my COMLEX scores.

You're fine for many places, including the NE. I'd just apply to all the NE programs and see what happens, but you're likely not going to match at Columbia, MGH, or Yale (I'd still apply though).

Psych is gettin competitive, SDN won't give you the answers. Apply and see where you fit in. My mentor told me "Where ever you match is where you belong"
